nope. neil is a lying charlatan.
Al-Ghazali never said that numbers or mathematics are the work of the devil; this claim is a false historical myth and misattribution.
Origin of the ClaimNeil deGrasse Tyson: The popular astrophysicist claimed in lectures that the 12th-century theologian Abu Hamid al-Ghazali called the manipulation of numbers "the work of the devil," causing the collapse of the Islamic Golden Age.
No Historical Evidence: Scholars have found no such statement in any of Al-Ghazali's authentic writings.
Al-Ghazali's Actual Views on SciencePraiseworthy Sciences: Al-Ghazali explicitly categorized mathematics, medicine, and geometry as mamduh (praiseworthy) and communal obligations necessary for human society.
Defense of Logic: He championed Aristotelian logic and empirical sciences, arguing that rejecting clear mathematical or scientific truths in the name of religion only harms faith.
